On the polygonal Faber-Krahn inequality

Résumé

It has been conjectured by Pólya and Szegö seventy years ago that the planar set which minimizes the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplace operator among polygons with n sides and fixed area is the regular polygon. Despite its apparent simplicity, this result has only been proved for triangles and quadrilaterals. In this paper we prove that for each n ≥ 5 the proof of the conjecture can be reduced to a finite number of certified numerical computations. Moreover, the local minimality of the regular polygon can be reduced to a single numerical computation. For n = 5, 6, 7, 8 we perform this computation and certify the numerical approximation by finite elements, up to machine errors.
